Abstract :Cerebral oximetry, employing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) through a transcutaneous membrane, is a non-invasive monitoring method designed to assess average regional tissue oxygenation in the frontal cortex. The literature consistently underscores its invaluable role in gauging cerebral tissue oxygen levels throughout the perioperative period. Notably, guidelines routinely recommend the use of NIRS in adult cardiac surgery. In contrast, arterial blood gas analysis remains a standard practice in cardiac surgery to measure general systemic oxygenation. While arterial blood gas analysis provides insights into overall systemic oxygenation, NIRS focuses specifically on regional oxygenation within the brain tissue. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between NIRS and arterial blood gas parameters, shedding light on their correlation and significance in the context of assessing oxygenation levels.
